Turning Point operates two residential rehabilitation projects located in the North-West of England.

Our intensive PSI programme is based on CBT and MET approaches that build internal resilience and recovery capital to improve wellbeing and sustain abstinence. We provide a safe environment where people can embrace community & support with their peer group and participate in structured daily activities, whilst living in semi-independence in a substance-free environment.
